Men Advancing Dialectical Empowerment

A 13-session closed-cohort skills group for men, built on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — designed to help you build real, practical tools for handling stress, relationships, and the moments where emotions take the wheel.

This isn't a generic support group. Each session works through core DBT skill areas — mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness — so you leave with concrete skills you can actually use, not just talk about.

    • 13-weekly sessions, delivered via secure telehealth (Zoom)

    • Small, closed cohort — same group each week, so trust and momentum build session to session

    • Session length: 90 minutes

    • Cost: $45 per session

Who it’s for:

  • Men who want a structured, no-fluff way to build emotional regulation and communication skills

  • Guys who are dealing with stress at work, their relationships, or just want better tools for staying grounded under pressure.

Space is limited to keep the group tight-knit. Reach out and schedule a consultation to see if we’re a fit by calling 847-440-4479. You can also fill out the form below (Note: please allow for 48 hours before return correspondence can be made).
